New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) on behalf of the City of New York (the “City”) is pleased to release a request for proposals (“RFP”) seeking proposals from qualified parties for the construction of a mixed-income housing development with ground floor retail space pursuant to a long-term ground lease or sale of an approximately 10,000 square foot parcel of land at the corner of Little West 12th Street and 10th Avenue in Manhattan’s vibrant Meatpacking District (the “Site”). Respondents must submit a proposal for a ground lease but, at their discretion, may submit an additional proposal for the fee simple acquisition of the Site. The Site currently covers two abutting areas described as follows: 1) a portion of Block 644, Lot 1, which is owned by the City and is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Small Business Services and 2) a portion of 10th Avenue currently under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Transportation and it is anticipated that it shall be deemed surplus and then transferred to the City and de-mapped.
